Overview
The facility treats solid, liquid and muddy waste of industrial origin, even hazardous produced by third parties and delivered in bulk or in packages. These wastes consist largely of drilling or water treatment muds, oily sludge, and tank bottoms that must be treated before being sent to final disposal facilities.
The Mirandola facility treats industrial waste using filter pressing or inertization processes, and the liquid fraction is treated using a purification system that incorporates clarification and flocculation, multi stage filtration, and reverse osmosis desalination technologies. The plant has a processing capacity of 80,000 tons per year.
The waste produced by the treatment process is then sent to final plants equipped with the best technologies for recovery or disposal; wastewater from the filtropressing process is, on the other hand, sent to physical chemical treatment plants or discharged into surface bodies.

- Sludge dewatering section, consisting mainly of a filter press with 150 plates measuring 2 meters by 2 meters, which are clamped by a hydraulic piston at 300 atmospheres; the conditioned sludge is pumped through these plates at 16 atmospheres until the space between the plates is saturated with the solid phase of the sludge. The solid fraction is then separated from the liquid fraction.
- Inertization section in dedicated tanks where chemicals are added to the sludge waste for inertization and/or thickening, depending on the objectives to be achieved.
- Treatment line consisting of a purification system comprising clarification and flocculation, multi-stage filtration, and desalination via reverse osmosis.
